We are sorry to hear of the loss of your father. Tony worked with my father Sam Santillan for many years. I recall your father coming over to my parents home for poker and other events. My mother Lilia would like to attend the service and pay her respects.

My condolences to Tony's family. I came to know Tony at the City of San Diego Auditor and Comptroller Office for the last several years of his career there, and the several of mine. Tony was a gentle helpful man, who treated people well and went out his way to educate and train new staffers who asked for his help. I'm happy he had a long enjoyable retirement. Best wishes.
